An election was B coming" up and the governor, a candidate m for re-election, 'stood on his record. His H opponent declared that he would restore j the striking policejnen if elected, the re- H suit being that the people shattered par- m t lines and re-elected the loyal Governor 1 ' Coolidge with a majority that served un B . mistakable notice that the people of the m United States are for "law and order." H The victory was so decisive, so complete, H so thoroughly American that the Presi m dent of the United States sent a message M . of congratulation to the victor, although m the victor, was not of President Wilson's fl political faith. In Massachusetts it was H time to call a halt, and the people did it. M . It is sad to note that right here in Lo M gan some of the same spirit that actuat es ed the Boston disruptionists prevails. In 1 speaking of the Senate of the United M States in its editorial columns of Wednes m day, November 19, 1919, the Journal says : M "Alien; enemies are not nearly so danger M ous as are those enemies seated in the B nation's greatest legislative body." What H must the people, the readers of that pa H , vsr, think of such utterances. Is Sena H tor. Lodge, a Republican, and Senator B Walsh a Democrat, both elected by the H same electorate that sustained and re-el-H ected Governor Coolidge, more dangerous H than alien enemies? Is Senator Smoot, H elected by the people of Utah and backed B by such sterling democrats as former H Senator Joseph L. Rawlins worse than M an alien enemy? It is refreshing to be flk . able to go to bed at night and know that M beause the Journal claims such things. B that is no reason that they are true. And m it is still more refreshing to know that H when the Journal starts on its usual ti H rade of slander, abuse and misrepresen- - . tation, calling patriotic ex-Presidents of H the United States traitors, and loyal H Senators worse than alien enemies, it is H always wrong. But that is not sufficient H being .wrong is not enough. It . is not H right, it is not fair to Logan, Cache val H ley and the state of Utah. It hurts all H to have such in our midst. It hurt.Bos H ton and Boston rose up and got rid of H all such. Is it not time for Logan to do H the same? Here. in Logan there should H be room enough for all who want to be H fair, to accord to all the right to agree H and disagree, in a word room enough f or H all who want to be decent, but no room H for those who persist in being indecent H as the Journal is in this instance. Is it H '"not time to call a halt in Logan? sssl tot ki m H " THE TREATY' SLUMBERS H r The" United tSates Senate by a decisive H ' vote has put the peace treaty with-the H League of Nations covenant to sleep. H Whether it is the sleep of death time will H tell. It no doubt is unless enough Demo- H crats of the type of Senators Walsh; H Shields, Gore, Reed and our own Sena- H to' King of Utah rally enough of their H , fellows to join the Republican majority H in making it an American document. We H say Senator King from the fact that it H is evident that-he does not want the H treaty as the President brought it over, H : and he now hopes that it will be revived H -and passed "with reasonable and satis" B. factory reservations." B It is now time for all good citizens to H hqld-.their heads, to maintain their bal- J0, fnce'i cease calling names and in tho B . ineantimetrj and become better ac-; m .. Vqua'ihtecT vfth the1 document that i.s dev signed to "prevent future wars" and very materially effect all the nations of the earth. Briefly the document that has , been laid on the shelf was drafted by the j allied peace conference of which the Pres- i ident was our chief representative, con- I turning about seven months of time, and j costinp) this country some $7,000,000. But one article in the entire League of Na tions covenant was from the pen of the President, that being the objectionable article ten. All the rest of the document is claimed to be of British origin. The document has been rejected by a body of 96 senators, representing all the stales of our union, consuming some six months of time. Some of these; Senators were elect ed contrary to President Wilson's special appeal to the people. Just prior to the last election the President said to the people "If you have approved of my lead ership and desire me to continue as your unembarrassed spokesman at home and abroad I hope vou will return a Demtv cratic Senate and a Democratic House of Representatives." The 96 Senators, in cluding those elected just after the Presi dent's appeal have carefully considered his work at Paris, and a majority of them have pronounced it faulty. The Senate, both Democrats and Republicans, have worked hard to Americanize it, and at the last call the President asked his faith ful followers, those who would vote only as ho wanted them to vote, to kill the treaty if the Senate persisted in chang ing it according to the program of the foreign relations committee, and the treaty was killed. As to the merits of the treaty every citizen is entitled to his opinion. Some will think it a bad thing for the nation, while others just as honestly think it a good thing, but there is one thing that is certain and that is it is a great disap pointment for the President. He went abroad with a bevy of what his Democrat ic friends have classed as clerks and ne gotiated the, treaty. He brought it home in its, preliminary stage and submitted it to the people. The majority of the Sen ate served notice on him that it could not pass along the lines drawn, and he flew into a rage and declared that Senators would find the league covenant so inter woven with thei treaty that the two could not be separated, declared that the sen ators did not know the pulse of the peo ple, and practically said that the. senate would not dare reject it. He returned to Paris and came back with just what the j'enate informed him could not pass. He then went to the people and while the people turned out to see him gladly and gave him a generous anplause, he did not create intense sentiment for his favorite treaty. Some elections were coming up and to his great disappointment there has not been a single election won for his cause where the League of Nations was the paramount issue. On the other hand some have been won for the opposition. In Oklahoma Senator Reed; the Democrat Senator from Missouri, was denied a hearing, against the League of Nations, and later a Republican congressman was elected on a platform against the league of nations in the state of. Oklahoma. The same thing prevailed to a great extent in the gubernatorial election in Kentucky and has had its effects in other places. All of which is evidence that "straws show which way the wind blows." At Salt Lake City the President said the treaty would be passed League of Na tions and all, he knew it would, but ev ents have proven him a false prophet. No one imputes to him anything but good motives, although at times he is prone to Tae very unfair The cold facts are, like other; men, he is liable to be wrong, and in this instance a majority of the 96 sen ators, both Democrats and Republicans have decreed him wrong. There is no question but that he made a grave mis take in bringing the treaty and league covenant so interwoven that they could not be. separated. Paris declares that it was a blunder and out of consideration for his own people he should not have done such a thing. The treaty should have been separate and alone, considered and passed, and then the Constitution of the world should have been considered on its merits. Anything that is not worth considering on its merits is not worth consideration at all, and this way of try ing to drive something through attached to something else, or make something else carry it through is all wrong. . .

' TT ' SJJ j right lines. The people voted on the constitution of the United States, and they likewisq vote on all its amendments. Why then should they be deprived of the privilege of voting for the Constitution of the world? It is true in such a contest some political graves might be dug, some party lines might be shattered, but what does that matter when the interests of the people are sq seriously at stake. As a matter of fact some political graves have already been dug by the people on this very issue in Oklahoma for instance, but the people still rule. Why .can't the Pres ident get busy and separate the jtIom I ment? The peace conference is still in session, the people are still paying the N. C. H. S.
